Had to stay here on Business as we were attending an exhibition at Windsor racecourse and all the other hotels in the area were fully booked! I have to say 1st impression I thought it was not too bad, altough the reception was grubby and old leather unmatching furniture was randomly placed everywhere but my room as whole was ok, large. massive bed, clean and ok for 1 night or so I thought. I was on the groundfloor at the very front of the hotel so I had a huge bay window and I did feel a bit vunerable but thought well its one night I will be ok. How wrong could I be, I went to bed around midnight and after half an hour as I was nodding off I became aware of loud agressive voices of young men right outside my door, they were smoking outside my window and this was drifting into my room and the chaos and commotion got worse and worse and at one point I thought they were going to come crashing through my bedroom door. My colleague who was in the room upstairs text to see if I was ok and he then contacted reception to advise them of the problem, it was now around 1am and cars were comimg and going, room doors were being slammed voices were raised and my room was smelling badly of smoke. The guy on reception didn't seem to do a thing, after about 5 calls and a threat of calling the police he eventually intervened and advised them to be quiet and this happened for all of 5 minutes and then the chaos continued into the small hours with numerous phone calls to reception they eventually evicted these youths at around 4.30am so I think I finally got to sleep at 5am and had to be up at 7am!! In the morning we complained to reception and told them what had happened and how we felt, and all we got from the female owner was a shrug and told we had the rooms cheap enough so there was nothing she could do, no apology from her or anything! So I would never stay here again, it was a horrific experience and one I never want to happen again, I even consider packing my stuff and going to sleep in my car!!! Avoid this place at all costs!!

If you are booking a hotel right now for someone else, who you hate, and will take pleasure in their suffering, you have found the right place to send them. It was a few years ago when we stayed but I still talk about this place: It was the night the clocks went back, Breakfast was supposed to be served up until 10am, so I went to bed in the full knowledge that the next day I would wake up with that whole extra hour to wallow in, wonderful! Imagine our disappointment when I arrive for breakfast at 09.00 GMT, only to be told that I had missed breakfast, because they still believed it was it was 10am. When I spoke up about the whole 'clocks going back' idea, they insisted that they 'Did not do that'. I then had to explain, slowly, that the daylight savings time thing was not really something where you can 'opt out'. Even strangers started speaking up in my defence, pointing out what the real time was. Anyway, in the end, I demanded the Breakfast I had paid for, eventually it came and I felt ill for a few days (there's a moral in there I think). Besides this peculiar event, every other aspect of the hotel was utterly terrible.

Granted this was a few years ago now, but it seems from the reviews they have managed to go beyond the bottom of the barrel.

Reception denied they were holding any messages for us. However, we subsequently learnt that our friends had phoned twice, we, therefore missed meeting up with them. The room was dirty the carpet torn and stained. We would not recommend this hotel to anyone. Avoid we find accommodation elsewhere.

The reviews are terrible, but I had a minisuite to myself. A little shabby, but for the price not bad. Hard to recommend but an excellent price & it served my purpose well.
